4 Things You Need To KnowThis is not a cure for
your own ambivalence about marketing your business.
Your Social Media Manager/Marketer cannot operate in a silo.
If you do not have a website or your website is awful, social media will not be effective.
You get out what you put in – time, resources.

Approach social media like a cocktail party
Mingle and chat.Laugh and listen to
amazing stories.Don’t be a
wallflower.Do not be the guy
with the lampshade on his head.
Do not oversell or come on too strong!
Each “party” (network) has it’s own etiquette and rules.

Facebook 101The place where people go to
connect/reconnect with friends and family. People come to Facebook to make personal
connections and to have fun. Strategy – Help customers feel more
connected to your business; show them who you are as individuals; help them connect to each other.
Share “behind the scenes” photos and videos, ask questions, share compelling statistics and success stories.
Easy, light, fun. Include media with all posts – links, photos, videos.

Twitter 101A space where people share the content that
excites them, in short 140 character bursts. “Micro-blogging”
The link reigns supreme! Strategy – Don’t get too personal; share the
best content you can find; drive traffic to your website.
Get people to “ReTweet” your content; follow “key influencers” and ask them to spread your message.
ReTweet, Thank – create good Twitter karma.Statistics, quotes, links. Be creative!

LinkedIn 101A professional network where people go to
build networks and connect to resources.Strategy – Unlike Facebook, people actually
want to talk about work and work issues on LinkedIn.
Longer, wordier responses, more professional tone.

Thought leadership in your industry.

Put a number on it. What gets measured gets done! Hard to measure “brand reputation” – but try to
quantify what you can.

participate actively, 9% comment and interact occasionally and 90% are lurkers)

Social Media Plan – SCORE Do they know who you are?Where should you start?
Start with Fans/Brand Advocates Recruit them to spread the word and
bring others over to their way of thinking. Might initially be a small group.
Turn what you do into a simple message. (Think tagline.) Why do people buy from you? Why do people
participate with you? More than just the “unique selling proposition” –
should be emotional and meaningful

Julia’s Social Media Philosophy
Social media is a TOOL – it is not a silver bullet.
In other words, you still need a good product or service to get people to care.)
Integrate it with an overall marketing campaign, just as you would other tools (direct mail, newsletter, website, ads, customer service).

Julia’s Social Media Philosophy
Not all social media channels are right for you.
Pick and choose.
Do a few well than many poorly.
QUALITY over QUANTITY – one quality Facebook post per day (or every few days) is worth more than 100 posts that are perceived as spammy.
